3 day week

well, i was kinda looking forward to this whole short, 3-day week thing as a consequence of a 4-day weekend. that was before geochem hw consumed my every waking moment. well, my every moment of freetime. which then became geochem time. i got my math test back.....yea that sucked. you'd think, though, that the prof would realize he's doing something wrong when everyone does that badly. but no, he'll just curve it drastically and move on, but whatev. so that was wed...and wed night i finally got back to TAing. it was great to be back outside at night, looking at the stars. and all my familiar winter constellations are up, hooray. but i had to skip out on TAing early for frisbee practice in the freaking bitter cold. holy crap was it cold! and yet, somehow, it was an awesome practice. i was a little miffed at first that kafka (one of our coaches) was being so coach-ey, but i guess it actually forced me to try to do my best. it was good. and straight from practice to the scili - during which the geochem hellhole began.... yea, so since about 10:15 pm weds night, i've spent all my free time on that god awful hw. it even took me three hours last night writing out the answers.....i had numbers all over the place on so many different pages....but, now it's turned in and out of my mind. and i got the first hw back - 30/30 rock on. i should do my math hw today, so i can study for my geochem exam this weekend....but it's so hard to do any work on a friday.
ab's spring break started today. lucky bastard. i just realized this week that we don't have any breaks of any kind until spring break here. that means 5-day weeks for .... 4 weeks. oh, i guess that's not that long. wow, spring break is in only a month? sometimes i feel like this semester is going by so fast already, but then again it's only been 5 weeks.....is that long?
i suck at eating. seriously. i hate the ratty so much. i had a blt for lunch, and it was good, but certainly not enough food. but there was nothing else that i wanted. absolutely nothing! so here i am, having eaten like 30 mins ago, and i'm hungry again already. gar.
ok, can i bring myself to do my math? only one way to find out...

this is probably not such a good idea

well, i can tell from others' experiences that drunken posts are not always the best idea. but i am soberin g up, so maybe it won't be so bad. i can't go to esleep now anyway, the room is slpinning when i close my eyes. it was a fuun night, too bad caleb is going abroad in th e fall. i will haev no friends here. jen, kathryn, caleb will be abraod. jeanette is living with crew girls. i think vuaghn will have other people to live with - she knows lots of people to live with. who willi live with? i don' t know. it's scary, fall semster is going to suclk. kim wont tell me if i can live iwth her or not. i don't even really know her, or the pople she will probably live with, and then me too. damn. i wish i was not such an antisocial peroson, i need more friends. i met some chick named taylor, she was cool. very nice girl. in eed to be ore like that....just friendly i guess. this post blows and i will probably delete it upon further review. but untilthen, enjoy. goodnight all!

can i just say....

i hate geochem. it can rot in hell. gar.

i think i'm gonna do poetry hw. yes, i need something different.

this new post is no excuse to ignore my quiz

i've been avoiding an update....so that MY QUIZ will remain at the top of my blog, and everyone will take it!!! but, apparently, everyone is Kathryn and Zeil. i am impressed with their scores....my scores on David and Kathryn's were abysmal. i think i just didn't feel like thinking when i did them. i'd just sorta read the question, pick an answer, and then be like, oh yea, that's not the right answer, duh. hopefully they can forgive me. cuz i do know them....i think.

and now, on to more pressing issues. abby. abby, abby, abby. i cannot keep getting drunken thursday night calls. and not because they're drunken or on thursday night, just because the content and the emotion are beginning to scare me more and more. granted, the calls should be made if such things are occurring, because i do want to help. my point is, i wish i could make this better for her so that i get happy calls all the time. i want abby to be happy - abby, i want you to be happy. and what worries me is that you don't want me to worry. and i know that i can't do anything to help except listen to you and talk to you...because i'm not there, i can't force you to go talk to someone. the distance makes me helpless, unhelpful. and you have the resources, the courage, the knowledge to do what you need to do. damn it, i don't know how to convince you of these things. and to make matters worse, your goddamn internet isn't working, so you won't read this. so...to anyone else who might read this and can help ab (i.e. mike, em, geordie), please, please, please don't let her push you away right now. don't believe her when she says it's fine, she's fine. i don't know what's at the root of all this, what has caused this sudden spiral, but you have to step up and help her. that means more than just talking, just asking, just listening, just sitting. it means acting. help her find a counselor. tell her mother she needs some love, some attention, some help. tell joe to spend some time with his sister. please. if i was there, i would do all these things. but the most i can do is ask others who are there to help. so please help. she's not returning my calls, she doesn't listen when i tell her how important she is to all of us. so help me help her.

quiz!

please take my quiz...i would take yours

and check out the scoreboard

boston baby

going to boston for the weekend, whoohoo. later all, have a good weekend!

p.s. ab, i'm thinking of you, please call me whenever you need to, i love you lots and miss you tons. bbf

i went to the campus market today to buy milk, but they didn't have any, so i bought oreos instead.

I HEART FRISBEE

wowsers. i am SORE. and when i say SORE, i mean SORE. it's quite uncomfortable. but it does feel good knowing i'm working hard. yesterday, i meet a few frisbee girls at the omac and we ran (me...running! ha!), did sit-ups and whatnot, then went out back and threw in a snow-covered field. my feet got so wet! vaughn, sarah, and i were trying to "learn" to lay-out. it's very hard to do, my body just does not want to fly through the air and come crashing to the ground. i did fall and slide around a lot, but not quite a lay-out yet. then today, we had our first B team practice whoohoo! i am such a horrible runner! gar. something to work on for sure. we did a warm-up jog in which i thought i was going to die - thank god my shoes came untied. we did the usual: stretch, throw, run some drills, scrimmage. wow was it ever hard to throw with the wind!! very hard indeed. so we moved inside and did small teams of 3-4 scrimmaging - very fun, forced me to make cuts and be more involved with the game. and i got pegged in the face with a disc hahaha. threw around a little more....oh, how i love long cuts. and then i went to lunch with some of the girls. good times. i really just want to crawl in bed right now and not move. at all. but alas, i have work to do.

to cut or not to cut

my hair. woah. is long. what to do? it is annoying. i don't want it short again, but i cannot stand it right now.

i went to boston last sunday for my bro's bday (did i say that already - i can't remember), and i'm going not this weekend but the next since my momma will be in town to visit jeff during his chemo. i think i'll stay at david and laura's since i'll have a larger, more comfortable place to sleep and it will be free of snoring. cool cool. OC's about to start, gotta go.
